Simple, honest, and filled with passion.In our constant and unwavering pursuit for greatness, we are committed to enriching people's lives, one tiny spoonful at a time.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Fiasco was started in 2003 by a gentleman named Matt Wilson. He knew that Calgary deserved amazing gelato, made by old world standards. Matt’s friendship with James Boettcher, who helped with design strategy, constantly developed and ultimately sent Fiasco down a whole new path.

In 2009 James acquired Fiasco, reduced it to one storefront, and re-invented the brand. Soon after, the store was gutted by a fire. The lease renewal, only 6 months later, made it impossible to continue and James spent the the first half of 2010 rethinking business. Finding a garage to make the first few batches, then a 100ft commissary space.

As a team we have stared adversity in the face and always prevailed. In 2012 we moved, to what we now refer to as ‘The little Gelato shop that Could’ where we transformed into a wholesale purveyor of the some of the finest Italian Ice Cream in Canada- with a commitment to changing the way business is done. We put people and purpose above all else and thought more about our community and impact than how much we have left at the end of the day. But as the company went from 5 employees, to 25 over a couple years, we quickly felt the growing pains of our beloved “A20” not being big enough for us anymore.

FIASCO HQ &GELATO FACTORY

In August, 2015 we took a huge step and moved into our new HQ, and opened the doors to our Fiasco Gelato Factory and Coffee Bar. Not only do we sell Gelato by the scoop and by the pint, but our coffee bar also offers espresso drinks using Cafe Rosso Espresso.

Our only retail location is also where all our gelato is hand crafted. You can take a peek through the windows at our kitchen and see where all the magic happens. Tours of our space are always welcomed - we love to give a behind the scenes look at what goes on at Fiasco everyday.

Five simple words that acknowledge our commitment to legendary service backed by quality craftsmanship. We're not a Gelato company. We're far more than that. We started by making delicious, tiny spoonfuls of heaven - and we still do. But our mission and vision is to have a measurable impact on how the world looks at employment, business, and what we deserve as consumers. We just happen to do it by making Gelato.

"FIND A WAYTO YES."

IT'S EMPOWERING.

Sure, it's easier to send it to the landfill, dump it down the drain, and pay less for certain things like cups and spoons. But our team at Fiasco knows that every move we make has an impact on our community & environment. The decision making is easy for us when it comes to how we handle sustainability. Every move matters. Because we can make a difference in the world by doing the right thing. We call it putting our money where our mouth is.
